Todd Helton, Andy Pettitte and the late Roy Halladay also will be first-time candidates.

Sharapova served the suspension for taking controversial medication meldonium during the 2016 Australian Open . A forehand cross-court victor set up the break point, and a backhand victor put her a game away from victory.

Indeed, Oxlade-Chamberlain broke the deadlock in the ninth minute of the Reds' 4-3 win against Manchester City on Sunday. The Portuguese was at Anfield on Boxing Day when Swansea were thrashed 5-0 under Leon Britton's caretaker command.
